Program Category:

same at any pedal cadence (called constant power control) unless you drop below 55 rpm. Below 55
rpm, workload is reduced along with pedal cadence, to prevent the sensation of the pedals “locking
up.”

Several different pre-set programs are available:
•Random: A random series of increasing and decreasing WORKLOAD changes thoughout a
workout.
•Interval Workouts: A series of increasing and decreasing WORKLOAD changes over the course
of a workout.
•Cardio Challenge: WORKLOAD increases to a set maximum for an optimal cardio workout at
the mid-point of the workout, then decreases to the finish.
•Fat Burn: WORKLOAD increases to a set maximum for an optimal fat burn at the mid-point of
the workout, then decreases to the finish.
•Hill Workouts: A series of increasing and decreasing WORKLOAD changes that simulate hills.
•Sixteen different levels are available to change the difficulty of a pre-set workout. The workload
intensities expand and contract depending on the level.
HRC (Heart Rate Control) Workouts
•Cruise Control: while in any workout, set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by
pressing a single key.

Care & Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the
bike as described here could void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Inspection:
Inspect the bike daily. Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords,
and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain
service.
IMPORTANT: If you determine that the bike needs service, make sure that the bike cannot be used
inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Make sure other
users know that the bike needs service.
Cleaning the Equipment:
TRUE recommends the bike be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen
a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may
void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the bike. Allow the bike to
dry completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation
of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit.
Storing the Chest Strap:
Store the chest strap in a place where it remains free of dust and dirt such as, in a closet or drawer. Be sure
to protect the chest strap from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C). To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild soap
and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
Long Term Storage:
When the bike is not in use for any length of time, turn it off. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged
from the power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with people or
other equipment.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Basic Bike Troubleshooting Guide
The following are common questions that are asked. For all other inquiries we would ask that you call your
local dealer/service provider in your area for support.
Q. What does it mean when my panel displays no lights?
A. Check the following:
• Verify you are receiving power to your outlet buy using an alternative device.
• It could mean that your unit is not plugged in.
• You will need to check the toggle switch on the front base of the unit to make sure it is in the ON position.
• You can check to see if your circuit breaker switch on your unit has been tripped. If so, you can reset it
and the lights should reappear on your display. If it will not reset, you will need to call your local dealer or
service provider to set up a service call.
Q. The display shows an error code or has odd characters.
A. If your display has any error messages on it TRUE Fitness recommends that you contact your local
dealer or service provider to arrange a service call. The error codes are there for your protection and we do
not recommend that you continue using the unit without consulting a professional.
Q. Is there any maintenance that I need to do to my bike?
A. TRUE Fitness encourages our customers to set themselves up with a preventative maintenance contract.
These can be provided through your dealer or local service provider.
Q. How do I arrange for a service or preventative maintenance appointment?
A. TRUE Fitness recommends that you gather both serial numbers (from console and base), model number,
and a brief description of the reason for the request before contacting anyone. Once that information has
been gathered you may contact your selling dealer or local service company to set an appointment. (If you
are not familiar with who is in your area, you may visit our website at www.truefitness.com and use our
dealer locator to obtain the contact information for the closest dealer in your area.)
If you would like you may also contact TRUE Fitness’ customer support team by calling 800.883.8783 or
